Kotzia Square is one of the places in Athens with two or more names. Kotzia
Square is what everyone calls this square except the mayor wants to call
it National Resistance Square.

The last thing he wants to call it is what it
really is: City Hall Plaza as that would be too easy and no doubt cause a lot
of people to come calling looking to get something done.

City Hall is pictured
just below far right and is not entranced through the front door but through
the rear door. The front door is just for show. Kotzai Square is across from Athens City Hall and one of the places
you will invariably find yourself while in Athens.

Its just a block from the
central food, fish and vegetable market with Monastiraki Square at one end and
Omonia Square at the other end.

The fountain is something I actually like and hope remains.

The rest
of the modernistic statues seem to revolve periodically from bad to worse
and will probably be changed at some point and that's a good thing. The
busts of famous Athenians such as Plato, Solon (bottom left) and the statue
of Periclies (bottom right) will likely outlive incumbents.
